Im only on my 2nd day today & i've got 46lbs to lose. Im hoping i have lost 2 stone for xmas but im wanting to have xmas dinner! are you allowed to have 1 meal & then 2 shakes still when you haven't got to goal? im sorry if im been blonde i can't get my head around this refeed business yet! x

Personally i wouldnt reccomend it. You have plenty more christmases ahead of you, missing one christmas meal isnt going to hurt. Whats more important, getting slim and healthy or stuffing yerself with a christmas meal?

If you did decide to eat then avoid carbs like they are the plague, no gravy, no sauces, stick to meat and a little veg or salad. Is that really worth it?

Its advisable to eat healthy, exercise and maintain.
No point being on some sort of diet for the rest of your life.
We all need to learn how to eat and not gain and make sensible choices. It will take time but we will all get there

I agree with summergurl but if you do plan on eating you nshud maybe consider refeeding 2 weeks before christmas so you will be in a good frame of mind so you wont eat millions on christmas day! it wud pretty much ruin everything you have achieved. maintainance products mite be a good idea for you for christmas week an you can have a meal then but still lose weight if your good.

week 1: bloody stupid scales hate me +2lbs better be gone by next week i swear. Week 2: So Finally gonna put this down last week I wasnt up 2lbs they rounded up from 1.5lbs to 2 how cruel so i gained 6 grams haha this week so 2 weeks refeed lets just say 2lbs gain.

Changing weigh in day to Monday

Week 1 maintenance: -4lbs (as far as the wii is concerned, haha)

Well done on making it to your second day - I'm sure you'll do more than 2 stone by Christmas!

I'm with Tanya on this one - I think you could forgo one Christmas meal to reach your goal, as from what I've heard on this forum, restarting is difficult, so who knows whether or not you'd get straight back onto LT? Also, even my skinny friends put on weight over Christmas, which wouldn't be the nicest experience for you. But, if you are going to do it I'd suggest re-feeding for at least a week to ensure you're prepared.

Still, you have plenty of time to consider this; once you're further into your LT journey eating for Christmas will probably seem a lot less important!

thanks everyone, ive spoken to my mum about it today & i think we're just going to wait until im where i want to be! also my boyfriend is starting LT on Tuesday so xmas won't be that hard when we're doing it together! x

Great decision. There'll be lots of us on here celebrating Christmas without food. I'm definitely not spending a week refeeding just to have one meal, and then have to go through the ketosis change again. It will add at least two weeks to the TFR for me, and by Easter next year I want to be refed, re-educated and eating sensibly.
Good luck - and hope your BF will do well too
